Hello.  My hair is naturally a medium brown color.  For years it has been lighter because of Sun-In and the sun.  Today I decided to dye my hair back to its natural color.  I got a dye but it is only level 1 (washes out in 6-12 washes).  My mom did it and everything went great except one thing.  A strand of hair on each side of my face turned a greenish-yellow color.  The rest of my hair is fine.  Why did just those two strands change that color?  Can I fix it?  How?  Please help!!  Thanks.

It may be that the dye reacted differently on part of your hair as a result of sun-in.  Since it's just a temporary color, try washing those odd-colored strands with a clarifying shampoo to see if it fades a bit.  If that doesn't do it, then you'll need to think about color correction...but try the simple solution first.

thanks for the tip...i went to a salon today and they fixed it...they just dyed my all my hair medium brown again (this time it is permanent).  it looks good except there is a little reddish tint to it.  someone (not from the salon) told me that that it will go away.  is that true??

Yes, it should. I have the same "problem" (though it isn't anymore since
I've been a chemical red for a year now and I love it!) But whether it's
being dyed blonde and turns strawberry or burgundy and turns purple,
the extra color should come out within a week.
